Design

Super-light, super-stylish

The sophisticated and elegant ZenBook 13 is the first ever ZenBook to be constructed from magnesium-aluminum alloy, a super-strong and super-light material that’s 33% lighter than the standard alloy used in laptops. It also has great heat-dissipation properties, so not only can we make ZenBook 13 incredibly light without sacrificing strength or rigidity, but it also stays super-cool for maximum performance. ZenBook 13 finished in one of two gorgeous colors: Deep Dive Blue and a limited-edition Rose Gold. Deep Dive Blue is a majestically deep shade that simply oozes sophistication, while Rose Gold adds a fresh and delightful sparkle to your lifestyle.

Elegance with strength

ZenBook 13 combines beauty and elegance with incredible strength. It’s built from tough magnesium-aluminum alloy that’s amazingly durable, yet astonishingly light (it’s 33% lighter than the standard aluminum alloy used in laptops), so it won’t let you down no matter how tough the going gets! In fact, ZenBook 13 is so tough it’s passed the ultra-demanding MIL-STD 810G military standard for reliability and durability. These tests include operation in harsh environments — including extreme altitudes, temperatures and humidity — along with vibration and shock tests designed to mimic rough day-to-day handling. As if that wasn’t enough, we’ve also ensured ZenBook 13 passes our own stringent and industry-leading laptop torture tests, which include extra-high drop tests and lid-pressure testing. ZenBook 13 is designed to be your totally dependable travel companion, wherever in the world you go!

NanoEdge Display

See more, do more!

To give you the biggest screen in the least space, ZenBook 13 has a beautiful NanoEdge display, with an ultrathin bezel that gives it an impressive 80% screen-to-body ratio. With no distracting bezel, you’ll feel more immersed in your tasks. This amazing 13.3-inch Full HD display fits in an ultra-compact frame, giving ZenBook 13 a footprint smaller than many 13-inch models. The wide 100% sRGB color gamut ensures vivid and accurate colors, so everything looks more natural. And its 178° wide-view technology ensures that image quality isn’t degraded when viewed at extreme angles, so it’s great for collaborating or entertaining.
